The City of New Hampton is reminding residents of the City’s snow removal ordinance.
A City social media post notes, “It is the property owner’s responsibility to remove snow, ice, or accumulations within 48 hours of the snowfall from sidewalks. When removing the accumulations it is unlawful to place them onto the street or alley, except in the Business District. If the accumulations are not cleared the City may do so and assess the costs against the property owner.”
The notification also states, “To avoid a $25 parking fine, do not park on City streets between the hours of 6 PM on the day of said snow fall until 7 AM the following day or until the streets have been completely plowed from curb to curb.”
Streets Superintendent Kyle Anderson adds that “shoveling your sidewalks is for the safety of pedestrians and that includes the mailman and anyone who uses it. Anytime it snows this needs to be taken care of.”
Contact New Hampton City Hall with any questions.
